Sweet Memories Vintage Tees & Candy

Sweet Memories Vintage Tees & Candy is a woman-owned retail destination located at 1282 Trumbull Avenue in Girard, Ohio, offering officially licensed vintage-style t-shirts featuring iconic candy and ice cream brands alongside a curated collection of nostalgic candies, retro toys, and vintage games. Founded in 2020 by Linda Barton, the business has become Ohio’s largest manufacturer of candy and ice cream licensed apparel, operating with a mission of giving back to the community—each purchase directly supports local charities, with significant donations benefiting Akron Children’s Hospital NICU. The store, which expanded to include a full vintage candy and retro toy store experience in February 2023, carries merchandise from brands including Good Humor, Klondike, PEZ, Tootsie Roll Industries, and more, celebrating local Youngstown history and creating a nostalgic shopping experience for visitors.
